Been lurking here off and on for the better part of 2 plus years trying to gather as much info as possible and a little leary because of never posting on a forum before. Figured it was time I introduce myself. I am just a home cook who over the last year has been bitten by the knife bug. I started out with Forschner Fibrox and then the wife bought me a 8" and 10" Masamoto VG gyutos. Been trying to sharpen on King 1000 and 6000. Key word being trying. I'm getting better, slowly. That has a lot to do with Mr. Martell's video's. Recently picked up a Bester 1200 and Suehiro Rika 5000 to give me something different to sharpen on.
I was thinking my next knife purchase I might like to try some vintage carbon. Have been looking on the BST and eBay for something for short change as I am still learning and not wanting to screw an expensive knife up. Well gotta go. Baby on the loose!:running:

Franklin, Ma. It's right above the top right hand corner of Rhode Island. In the armpit of Ma. So to speak.

I actually went to college for a brief time in North Adams back when it was North Adams State. I liked it out there. Then again I'm more of a country folk then a city slicker.

I lives in South Egremont for a couple years before I moved "over the hill" to Chatham, NY.
